Original version:
Bake ‘Em A Cake
She couldn’t believe that she had to deal with yet another nosey neighbor. She had just got used to Bianca blasting music at all times of the night without a care in the world, and it was like God wanted to give her yet another challenge to deal with.
Bianca told her that the new neighbor they had came to her and told her to turn her music down. From the seems of it, he seemed to have enough sense to not be disruptive to the people in their small, very thin wall having, apartment building. She was wrong though. She could hear thump after thump above her as she tried to get some sleep for her next shift in 8 hours.
“Hello!”
She didn’t care if she was being a bitch by banging so loudly on his door when she could’ve easily been a normal person and knocked regularly. She kept pounding as hard as she could until the door finally open, and revealed something she did not expect. Her eyes widened slightly as she looked up and down at the man in front of her that was sweaty and shirtless and fine as fuck. She could’ve sworn she felt her heart skip a few beats but she quickly composed herself when she realized what had made her get out of the comfort of her bed and make her way to the floor above her.
“Can I help you?” He asked her. A bit of an attitude she heard. Fuck did he have an attitude for?
Nyla scoffed as she pushed past him, walking into his very empty apartment. “Your loud ass thumping ass footsteps are keeping me awake.” She told him, tossing him a mean look over her shoulder.
“Come on in I guess.” He muttered.
Nyla looked around the apartment, only seeing a couch and a small tv. No pictures. No decorations. No accent furniture. God, it lacked so much furniture that it made Nyla want to puke. She turned around to look at the man, looking him to and down which allowed her to realize that the apartment did fit him. He didn’t seem like the type to go all out. Still made it an ugly apartment though. Or maybe she was just judging too much.
“This isn’t what people mean by minimalism, just so you know.” She stated, taking it upon herself to sit down on the couch.
He closed the door behind her, walking over to her on the couch. “Can I help you with something?” He wondered. He didn’t seem to mind that much that a complete stranger had walked into his home without a care in the world.
“I don’t know if you’re tap dancing, or doing the cha-cha slide, or just being a dickhead up here… but you’re being loud.” Nyla told him.
“Oh my fault, I didn’t realize.” He said.
“Yeah, everything’s thin in this apartment. Including my patience.” Nyla snarked, standing up from the couch.
He stared at her as she stared right back at him. Though, their stares seemed to be holding two different emotions. Hers being one of irritation and anger while his was more of… a lust filled stare. Then she realized why he had that stare as he looked at her. Nyla looked down in
horror when she realized that she had come up to this strange man’s apartment with nothing covering her upper body but a tight tank top that really did her boobs a favor. Like damn, they really looked good if she did say so herself. But that wasn’t the point. Nyla crossed her arms as she took a step forward.
“I’m Donnie.”
“Your real name?” Nyla scoffed.
“Donnie ain’t real enough for you?” He asked.
Nyla sighed as she stared at her nails out of boredom. “Donovan? Donald? Stop me when I’m getting closer.” She said.
“Adonis.”
“Way cuter than anything I said.” Nyla hummed. “I’m Nyla Gaines; your very generous neighbor.” She said.
“Generous?” Adonis asked, raising an eyebrow as he chuckled.
“I’m not cursing your ass out for waking me up. Twice. Take that as nothing but generosity.” Nyla told him.
“I’m grateful for it.” Adonis said.
“Wise choice.”
Nyla brushed past him, making eye contact the entire time, as she walked towards the door, stopping when he touched her arm. “You right below me?”
“Apartment B7. Which is exactly why I could hear your footsteps jumping around.” She told him
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Adonis nodded.
“Mhm. See you around Adonis.” Nyla said. “Welcome to Philly by the way.”
“How you know I’m not from here?” Adonis asked her.
Nyla snorted as she opened the door, giving him a look over her shoulder as she said, “I know everything boo.”

“I was so mean last night, Bi. I don’t like myself when I’m tired.” Nyla said, shaking her head in disbelief.
Nyla had a mini self crisis as she stood in her best friend, Bianca’s, apartment. She had woken up, fully rested after Adonis listened to what she had told him, and felt bad for the way that she handled his nosiness. She didn’t like being mean. It made her feel all… icky. So as a way to apologize for being an asshole, she had rushed to make Adonis a cake so he could have something to eat for the next few nights. Because he surely didn’t have much besides cereal in that wack ass apartment— totally not her judging though.
“He woke you up twice and you had work. If anything, I’m sure you weren’t mean enough.” Bianca scoffed.
“I know, I know, but still, I feel bad. Being a bitch isn’t the best first impression.” Nyla stated, carefully scraping the excess icing off of the cake.
Bianca looked at her friend as she walked into the kitchen, amusement written all over her face. “So… you’re made him a cake?” She asked.
“Duh ho!” Nyla said. “You think he’s home?” She wondered.
“He ain’t got no life from what I can tell. Just to the gym and back.” Bianca shrugged.
“Great!” Nyla chirped. “Cause it’s done and I need to have him like me immediately.”
“Why do you even care?”
“Everyone in this building likes me, and I can’t risk losing that achievement.” Nyla said as if it was obvious.
“You worry too much, girl.” Bianca chuckled.
“And you don’t worry enough.” Nyla remarked. “Now wish me luck.”
“Wear a condom.” Bianca said, waving her hand dismissively as she walked back to her piano.
Nyla snorted as she scooped up the cake pan in her hands, shaking her head in amusement. “Oh my God, you’re sick in the head.”
Nyla walked out of Bianca’s apartment, heading up to the floor that Adonis lived on. She really did hope he was home. It would be a waste of her time if he wasn’t, and she hated wasting her time. Thankfully though, when she knocked on his door— very gently compared to how she did the night before— he opened it almost instantly. Clearly he wasn’t doing nothing much with his time. Not that she was judging him for not having a job or anything. Totally not.
“Adonis.”
Adonis smirked as he took in Nyla’s appearance. He didn’t expect to see her at his apartment door again, especially if he wasn’t making any noise, but he wasn’t upset by the pleasant surprise. She looked good. Extremely good. Better than she did when he first saw her. She looked way more put together in the middle of the day than she did at 1 am. He would’ve been fine admiring her forever, like he was planing to, if she didn’t clear her throat to get his attention saying. He smacked himself mentally when he realized that he was staring, realizing that he probably seemed like some creepy ass dude.
“Nyla Gaines.” Adonis said, nodding at her.
A sort of her felt special that he remembered her last name as well, but then again, it was only last night. “About last night—“
“You cool,” Adonis said. She could see a ghost of a smile creeping onto his face as he looked at her cake. “That for me?” He asked her.
“Hope you like chocolate.” Nyla grinned, holding it out for him to take.
“Who don’t like chocolate?” Adonis scoffed.
Nyla snorted as he took the pan from her. “I knew I liked something you.” She smirked.
She turned around, prepared to head back to her apartment now that she apologized for her wrongs. But his voice stopped her before she could even take a step.
“Where you think you going?” He asked her, beckoning her over to him when she turned to look at him. “Come on in.”

Sneak peak to part 4
CREED 2 released in theaters 6 years ago
All those years watching anime really did leave an impact on Michael B. Jordan. Because the plot of Creed III being “righteous protagonist must fight their best friend who turned to the dark side due to jealousy/ego/wanting to prove that they’re better than the protagonist” is straight up a shonen anime storyline.
Michael B. Jordan at the world premiere of Marvel Studios Black Panther: Wakanda Forever held at the Dolby Theatre on October 26, 2022 in Los Angeles, California.
